Product Information
Full details
The Trixie Pet Safety Gate is designed for pet owners seeking a reliable, non-permanent way to restrict their large dogs from specific areas like kitchens or stairways. Its primary advantage is the tool-free installation system, which protects your walls from drill holes; however, potential buyers should note the base width is limited to 85cm and requires separate extensions for wider openings.

FAQs
Can I use this gate at the top of stairs?
While the gate is sturdy, it is primarily designed as a room barrier. Always follow safety best practices and avoid pressure-mounted gates at the top of stairs where a failure could lead to a fall.
Does the gate come with extensions?
No, the standard package fits openings between 75 cm and 85 cm. Extensions are sold separately.
Will this gate damage my paintwork?
The clamping system is designed to minimize damage, but it is recommended to use wall cups or protective pads if you are concerned about pressure marks on drywall or delicate surfaces.
Is it suitable for small puppies?
The gate is built for large dogs, so ensure the vertical spacing is appropriate for the size of your specific breed to prevent them from slipping through.
How high is the gate?
The gate measures 76 cm in height.
Troubleshooting
The gate feels wobbly or loose
Re-tighten the four clamping screws equally. Ensure the pressure is distributed evenly against the wall surfaces.
The gate door is difficult to latch
Check that the gate frame is perfectly plumb and not tilted, as a misaligned frame can prevent the latch mechanism from aligning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: place the gate in the desired opening and extend the four corner bolts until they press firmly against the walls or door frame. Ensure the gate is level before fully tightening the locking nuts. The gate is compatible with openings from 75 cm to 85 cm; for wider gaps, purchase Trixie 10 cm extension elements. To maintain the unit, wipe the metal surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the varnish. Periodically check that the clamping screws have not loosened due to daily use.
